So General Motors has become Government Motors. And the president says his only goal is to get GM humming again and then “to get out quickly.”
I dunno. Speed is not the federal government’s strong point. … Offhand, I don’t what is, but I know speed is not in the running.
We won the Korean War, sort of, 56 years ago, and we still have troops in South Korea.
We won World War II 64 years ago, and we still have troops in Germany and Japan. … On the plus side, we have managed to pull out of Mussolini’s Italy.
The infamous mohair subsidy that is used as Exhibit A in any story about government waste dates back to World War I. Waaaay back then, Uncle Sam wanted enough wool for the doughboys’ uniforms.
To their credit, the feds have managed to close out the Spanish-American War … I think.
What I’m trying to say is, don’t be surprised if some day, many, many years from now, your grandchild asks, “How come the presidential debate had that question about whether GM should extend the warranty on all four-wheel drive models to 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first?”

Anybody that would put a mohair uniform on a soldier ought to be taken out and shot. Slowly.
Personally, I'll be cool with the government running GM. How could they not do better than that wonderful vehicle we all love, the Hummer? A car so fine that only heart surgeons can afford to drive one more than one tank full at a cost that would finance two wars just to drive to New Orleans and back!
Dear Leader has seized a large corporation whose assets, including taxpayer subsidies in the billions of dollars, will now be portioned out as rewards to his brownshirts. A nasty piece of work.
I'm sure lookin' forward to feedin' the cows from some two-cylinder putt-putt made in Shanghai.
